The PR effort of Versace and H&M is a total success ! The presentation took place yesterday in New York and their collaboration is featured everywhere on the web today... Maybe because Prince performed and was looking totally awesome as usual !

Maurizio Cattelan retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum of NY

This figure from Mr. Cattelan’s “Daddy Daddy” was previously displayed at the museum floating face down in the rotunda’s fountain.

"I've never thought about my works as something that I wanted to see again. Now I am forced to relate to them. It's a chance to see myself from a different perspective. The 130 works will come together in a new work: it's a family" the artist said to the Financial Times about his NY Guggenheim's Museum retrospective which opened this week. He adds: "There is no other way to do a shw there and pay respect to the building."

I look forward to seeing this retrospective but to be honest, I am not sure I like what I see on the pictures... It feels too much...

Madonna’s new fragrance is called truth or dare

For years, Madonna refused to launch her fragrance unlike many cheap stars, but she now feels time has come to release "a unique blend of narcotic florals, balanced with addictive woods and vanilla, creates a scent that is timeless, yet contemporary, simultaneously dark and light."

She also feels it's the right time to launch her own brand and she will surely cash in a lot! She says: "Over the past several years, I have been approached countless times to create my own brand. The timing is right and I have found great partners in Iconix, who can help translate my vision to reality."

Happy 62th birthday Anna Wintour !
